I need to pull my 4" pump out of the well because it stopped pumping (getting 240V at the wellhead but no water is coming out). The adapter is about 2ft below grade and the pull pipe comes up about 1ft below the top of the well case.
For the life of me I cannot get this thing out. My brother and I both tried, wiggling it around hoping it would come loose no luck. I have an extra piece of pipe that I tried to couple to the pull pipe for better grip/leverage but the pull pipe is rusted a bit and I can't get it threaded on there (and I know it's the right size b/c i used this extra pipe when installing the pump). I got a tiny steel brush in there with some PB Blaster to clean up the threads the best I could but no dice.
It's only been in the ground for 3yrs; I had to replace the motor in 2008 because it failed (after only 3yrs of service). I'm at my wits end here! Any help is appreciated!!
